AB - Light emitting diode structures emitting in the ultraviolet spectral range are investigated. The samples exhibit defect luminescence bands. Synchrotron-based photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of the complicated multi-layer stacks is employed to assign the origin of the observed defect luminescence to certain layers. In the case of quantum well structures emitting at 320 and 290 nm, the n-type contact AlGaN:Si layer is found to be the origin of defect luminescence bands between 2.65 and 2.8 eV. For 230 nm emitters without such n-type contact layer, the origin of a defect double structure at 2.8 and 3.6 eV can be assigned to the quantum wells.
